"The fact is that it seems likely that the biologists will do and the biochemists will do to their big, huge building-size laboratories what the cyberneticists did to the computer. And not only make them smaller, but cheaper. It's happening at a curve that's even faster than Moore's Law. ...There are all sorts of possibilities, but science fiction is supposed to look ahead a little ways and see what they are. Under circumstances like those, civilization cannot hold together if we remain stupid." David Brin
